Most likely one of the speaker leads was grounding against something when you installed them in the door. Window track possibly?
This would make sense but when I removed them to rotate them, they seemed to have a pretty big clearance both ways. Although not being able to see what is actually happening when they are inside, maybe this is what was actually happening.
My first guess would be a speaker wire getting pinched against the door panel or a piece of metal causing it to ground like the other comment said.
Yeah, now that I'm trying to remember I don't know if it had enough clearance but it didn't seem like a problem when I was installing it. Which leads me to believe that it wasn't touching anything that I am aware of.
